Stephen Harper and his Conservatives may have bit off a bit more than they can chew. Even in Staunch "family values" territory like the prairies support for his $100 a month proposal which scrapped the liberal proposal for establishing a Public Childcare program based on the lauded Quebec one has less than passing grades.
For those working parents desperate for childcare with few affordable options it is a slap in the face.

Neither G8 nor Live8 Will Ease 3rd World Poverty

Monday, July 25, 2005

It's like a circus. While the G8 meets to determine how to dissect the body of the world, a world-wide celebration holds court on your local television screen decrying 3rd world poverty.

Wowee !! A big extravagaza uniting all the wealthy rock stars and their fans in an effort to mitigate collective guilt by having fun, as Geldorf once more unleashes his minions in an attempt to ressurect his faded career and the entertainment industry makes $millions. He and the other poster children still can't comprehend that charity won't ease the suffering of the impoverished of the world. Only throwing off the yoke of neoliberalism will.

That means opposing the G8, WTO, the IMF, and all the phony aid organizations who simply extend justification for the rape of 3rd world people. The genecide of the people of Dhafur won't end no matter how much aid is given. Only a concerted effort which also includes aid but more importantly UN troops to stop the genecide and relocation policies of the Sudan government can. While hands are wrung over how horrible the Ugandan massacres were, and why the west didn't step in, another genocide is taking place which the world more or less ignores.

STOP THE DHARFUR GENOCIDE NOW !
